[stuart1981]

thats my before and after project pics, does anybody think of which colour i should do the frame, was thinking of getting it sandblasted, then polishing it, and getting plenty of coats of clear laqour on it as protection,
any ideas?

DON'T sand blast if you want to polish or chrome anything.  Blasting will cause pitting and it's hard to polish out.  Use a chemical stripper.  O'Reilly's auto parts has Aircraft Stripper in one gal. cans.  Even glass bead blasting will give you problems if you want to polish or chrome.  We use glass bead, plastic bead and aluminum oxide for blasting cars, motorcycles, etc.  Alox (aluminum oxide) is the same material that's on sand paper.  If the plastic bead is new you can blast the paint and it won't cause any problems.  We reclaim the plastic and sometimes sand or dirt will get scooped up into the system.  We run magnets in the screen area to catch any screws, rust or left over metal stuff from dismantling the old cars.  If it's getting chromed we won't blast it without the customer signing a disclaimer.  Our claim to fame is "Paint removal without any damage".
